Gibson Custom Limited Edition '57 Les Paul Standard Mustard Gold Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged

The Gibson Custom Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Reissue Ultra Heavy Aged in Mustard Gold captures the look, feel, and character of one of the most celebrated Les Pauls from Gibson’s first Golden Age. Part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, this model pairs historically inspired construction with Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging for the rounded edges, extensive finish checking, and heavy playing wear of a well-loved vintage instrument.

The lightweight one-piece solid mahogany body is topped with two-piece plain maple, while the mahogany neck features a substantial 1950s Chunky D profile and long neck tenon. A rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, Historic narrow/tall frets, 12" radius, nylon nut, and 24.75" scale length round out the period-inspired feel. Aged nickel hardware, cream plastics, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and gold Top Hat knobs complete the vintage presentation.

A pair of unpotted, underwound Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups delivers the clarity, warmth, and sweetness associated with late-'50s Patent Applied For humbuckers, with plenty of drive and crunch when pushed. Traditional two-volume, two-tone controls and a three-way toggle keep the layout familiar and versatile.
